Under the hoodOur biggest commitment is to keep SketchUp fast, friendly, and reliable -- for you and your computer. Here’s how we’ve tuned SketchUp 2015: For the first time ever, we’re offering a 64-bit version for Windows and Mac machines.We’ve sharpened “Face-Finder,” the code SketchUp uses to create faces while you’re modeling. Look for big improvements in operations like explode, especially in your behemoth-sized models.SketchUp is now self-aware of styles that help your model render faster. You’ll notice “Fast Styles” badged in the styles window, including those you create yourself.

New ToolsWhen it comes to writing new tools for SketchUp, we shoot to make features feel as if you’ve been using them for years. Here what's new for 2015: SketchUp 2015 features an official Rotated Rectangle tool, so you can now draw precise rectangles unbound by default axes. We have to say: driving this tool feels a little bit like riding a bike with no hands.With our new 3-point Arc tool -- which defines bulges by choosing three points -- there are now four different ways to draw arc’ed edges.We’ve overhauled LayOut’s Label tool. You can now conveniently place and align beautiful, two-segmented leader labels. We also made label text a lot smarter. Placing a label gives you the option to choose information you’d like to associate with it. Component attributes, BIM classifications, face areas: go on, label as you like.

Smoothing our edgesIn this release, we’ve rolled up our sleeves to improve things that affect how you try, buy, and use SketchUp. SketchUp Pro licensing is now friendlier than your favorite barista. Every SketchUp 2015 download starts with a 30-day trial of Pro features. Even better, 2015 Pro licenses can be used on a Mac or a PC. Enterprise and Network licenses? We made those way easier too.With an IFC File import, SketchUp Pro 2015 is our most information modeling-friendly release yet. We’ve also sharpened Classifier, our tool for applying industry standard types that stay with your model as it travels between BIM tools.We’ve added a slew of new Ruby API features to help SketchUp extension developers create tools that manage layers, classifications, section cuts and more.
